Hi, here is a script for the new Mojang game, Scrolls.

You can find more info on http://www.scrolls.com

PS: I seem to have lost my password for account "kweepeer", is there a lost password functionality on the website? Thanks ;)

I should be able to reset it for you. Private Message me about it and we will get that taken care of.

HI kweeper,
Not much to say about your script, it looks fine.
Does the game run significantly better with 1.5.31 than with 1.4.1?
I recommend using the latest stable version of Wine whenever possible (if anything, it reduces the number of different versions that end up installed ;) ).

Hi petch, the game will crash on startup in 1.4.1. unless you set /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope to a value of 0, which requires root rights to modify.

In recent versions of wine, the game starts without any modification to ptrace_scope. I think any recent 1.5.x should be fine actually, though I haven't tested it, I just used the latest one available.

Not requiring such manipulation is definitely a good reason for a 1.5.x version, just wanted to be sure.

also 1.4.x versions doesnt support xrandr nicely and mixing up the dual-monitors users resolutions and so on.

1.5.12+ is needed to be able to enjoy dualmonitor setups

Hello,
The script fails at unpacking by core.exception.OutOfMemoryError.
(cf http://pastebin.com/0e8ApbVP )

I know there was a new (scrolls) patch today but I don't know why
it would be related. I use the lastest script above (2013-06-04 10-14)

spec:
Kubuntu 13.10
PlayOnLinux 4.2.1
wine-1.4.1 (but it seems to use 1.5.31 for playonlinux)

Hi cyanure. Here is updated version (it works).

Script validated.
There was actually 2 of them, Scrolls (1865) and Scrolls (Beta) (1867), I validated the former and unsigned the second (so you can reuse the entry for another script if you want), I hope I did the right thing (didn't see any significant difference between the two but I could have overlooked something).

Looks fine to me. Thanks petch!

Hi,
I'am very new to Linux, just installed Mint 17 two days ago, and i've been trying to install Scrolls with PoL - i was wondering if there was any update to this script of yours, because it doesn't seem to work (keeping in mind i might very well be doing some stuff wrongly.. but as it's been 8 months already ^^)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Tywnis

I'll have a look at it.
